Godwin will oversee editorial and business operations for broadcast, digital, streaming and audio news across the news organization including “Good Morning America,” “World News Tonight,” “20/20,” “Nightline,” and “The View.” “I have immense respect and admiration for ABC News,” Godwin said in a statement. “As the most trusted brand in news, they are to be commended for the extraordinary work and dedication of the journalists, producers, executives and their teams across the organization. I am honored to take on this stewardship and excited for what we will achieve together.” Godwin's appointment comes as pressure intensifies on broadcast news organizations to fill leadership positions with hires from diverse backgrounds. Every previous president of ABC news has been a white man, CNN reported Wednesday.
